What do you like best about Google Cloud IoT Core?

Google IOT Core gives the ease of registring devices and making Iot deployment faster. The option to have mutiple datastream helps in data managment. All payload have the neccesary information to identify and segregrate the devices. Extending from Google PubSub to Iot Core was easy since Pubsub is used under the hood of iot core for datastreaming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud IoT Core?

Certain features like device state have a throttle limit of updating only once per second. If your device tries multiple times within a second, then the connection is dropped. This becomes a pain as you have to ensure that the device is not reporting state while it's offline and doesn't send all the state messages at once when the device goes online.

What do you like best about Google Cloud IoT Core?

Google Cloud IoT analyzes data both at the edge and in the cloud. It is a complete set of tools that helps connect and store information and it is fully managed by cloud services. Savings of up to 57% without up-front fees or instance-type lock-in. You can pick any configuration of CPU and memory to save up to 48% compared to fixed machine types from other clouds. I like that you pay for services as needed, you save money and can focus on innovating. There are no termination fees so we can stop paying for services the second we turn it off. That helps the business by saving money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud IoT Core?

I dislike about the Google Cloud IoT is the prices. The prices are not reasonable especially for small business owners and Entrepreneurs. You pay per second, which is how a cloud should work but it becomes pricey. You can get up to 79% off workloads that can be interrupted, like data mining and data processing but I wish it was 100%.
